I think I have found various informational articles and videos that have helped give different perspectives on race and racism. I think my focus for this research project is to analyze the question Is Race Real? Personally, I’m not sure if there is a solid answer to this question, however I think by using the resources I have found, I should be able to make a viable argument for the answer being no. Looking at the physical color of skin, DNA and genetics, cultural attitudes, political constructs, and social minorities/majorities I think it is possible to explain that race is not innate, but rather a social construct perpetuated by societies’ urge to categorize and label differences.
